When a kit item is entered on a sales order and the components explode, there is no alert when a component is not available, and the user must check every line manually. This is quite time consuming when a kit is large.

Rather than wait for Sage, you can create a simple crystal report to check your on-hand quantities.
This feature would be very helpful. Having to run a report to check on-hand quantities would be working around the system and not give immediate indication for action. Would Sage Alerts or Inventory Adviser have this function?
I agree. Having the quantity alert integrated just as it is on individual items would be very helpful. We have a number of kits in our catalog, some of which share specific components.
“I also agree. Not having the information available for quantity on hand as it relates to kits, truthfully makes sales kits irrelevant. If a customer places an order... you don't know if you can fill the order... that's the bottom line.
It would be useful to have that information as with all other parts.

We made a UDF to hold quantity available. A script looks those numbers up, does the math, and puts it in the box on each line. Not a very hard script to implement.
